stance and in form, except as to two or
three lines, the same as the bill which the
Senate had passed over and over again.
Mr.. Wilson, of Iowa, said that he could
not vote for the report because he believed

by the Constitution.
The conference report was agreed to
without further discussion and without
division, and then, on motion of Mr., Ed
munds, the Senate, at o'clock, went into
secret session.

aid from the Government in bonds, giving
the sums which are due, principal and
interest, under the existing law, severally
and collectively from said companies,
and what will be the result to the treasury
and the effect upon these debts of House
bill No. 1918, should it become law and
its provisions be complied with? The
bill referred to is that introduced by Mr..
Cultivate providing for the payment of
the Pacific railroads Indebtedness to the

REVIEW.


NEW YORK, January G.-During the early
part of the day prices ruled dull, there being
somewhat of disposition to take profits. but
such stocks as came out were well absorbed,
and the decline does not seem to have any
great significance From the reports of the
the state of business in England for
the first two weeks of the current
year, we gather that both in the earnings
of the railroads, and in the iron industries,
there is a decided improvement.
Instead of showing a decrease as has been
the case for the last four years railroad earn
ings show a handsome increase and large
number of the rolling mills which had been
shut down have suddenly come into full
operation and are well supplied with orders.
This is a symptom worthy Of notice as it
must reflect on our industries here.
The coal stocks were sold late In the day
but their decline did not affect the general
market in any great degree. Trunk lines
held their own fairly we'll and the close was
steady. Money a. 6 per cent.

rhe IncreaAe of schooi b"p"'
ings

The demand for more school houses
in this city is emphatic and LOUD.
The Board of Education have asked
the Council to issue $l5O,ooo OF
bonds for the purpose ofenlarging the
mr. esent school buildings and erectlng
new ones. This seems to be a large
a mount to appropriate in one bulk
The necessity for this appropriation
is in line with the phenomenal growth
of our city. The total number OF
school children between 5 and IL
wears of age last year was 6,o4o; TINS
wear it is 7 ,457-an increase OF Az.
But il must be remembered that the
school accommodations have been al
together inadequate to seat the num-
her of children entitled to admission.
This has been the case Tor
several years, and now there
are thirteen teachers who have
do uble classes-that is the children
only receive half tuition each day.
The doubling up process is increasing,
and to make our public school sys-
tenn as efficient here as it is e'se'
where. it is imperative that greatly
increased accommodations should be
had. The people are willing to be
taxed literally to sustain the schools
up to the highest degree OF efficiency
They do not want any OF their chill
dren to be excluded from the bene'
fits OF education for the want OF school
room. Ii the large sum of $4,000 is
necessary to supply this want, they
will willingly assume the burthen.
All they ask is that the money appro'
priated shall be judiciously and eco
nomically applied; that the very
smallest amount compatible with
the great object of giving every child
a fair and equal educational chance,
shall only be used; and that the
character of architecture adopted for
the new school houses shall be such
that it will at once be creditable
adornment to the city and afford the
school children the best and most
ample accommodations possible.

Mr.. j. S. SLAUsoN has spent sever
al days at Azusa experimenting the
public improvements now being
made in that new town. He says
that the amount OF work that has been
done there in sixty days is very great.
Streets have been laid out and graded.
Pipes have been run through them
and sewers laid down. A large hotel
has been built and is nearly ready
for business. Arrangements have
been made for lighting the public
thoroughfares with electric lights. A
large school house is almost ready,
and depot for the trains is we'll I'M
der way. One church is built, and
others will soon be commenced. A
large number OF stores have been fin
ished and are open for business, and
a great many nice family residences
have been erected. We should say
that a very creditable amount Of
work had been done for a town that
il only two months old. We cite
these particulars for the purpose of
that there is a go-ahead
energy here such as has not been
seen in California since the palmy
days Of 40.

VARIOUS special reports on leading
industries published of late have in
timated that several OF the more i'm
portant lines OF manufacturing
throughout the country are not as
PROSPEROUS as some OF the routine
trade reports made public each week
would indicate. In order to arrive at
a more definite notion OF the import
ant industrial lines, special telegraph
ic inquiries have been made respect
ing those most affected, particularly
in iron and steel, nails and wheat
-four, concerning which unfavorable
but very indie finite reports have been
circulated. AS characterizing the
industrial situation in its broadcast
aspect, reference to Bradstreet's very
complete records OF strikes and
lockouts in 1886 and 1887 shows
that while the total num-
Der OF manufacturing employees
striking and locked out in
May, 1886, is three times the total
for May, 1887, the total idle at this
time from causes named is over 80, 900
as com pared with about $4,000 one
year ago. The aggregate number of
industrial employees striking or
locked out during the past month
will probably not be less than $4,000,
as compared with over 10000
three times as many-in May last
year. The larger strikes one year
ago were shorter lived.
